Incorrect Addresses Keep
Many Men From Get-ing
Their Mail
Every week, 300 pieces of
mail, addressed to Goodyear-ites
of the factory and office,
are returned to the post of-fiee,
because of insufficient "
address, records of the Mail
Dept. show.
' g Lots of fellows come to
Akron for a iob, and tell
their friends they are going
to work at Goodyear. Their
friends don't realize that we
have 30.000 people here, and
ean't know which John
Smith of a dozen John Smiths they
are writing to," says Jimmie Moy
ler, in charge of the Mail Dept. of
the Factory OBice,
Most of the mail that cannot be
delivered are "duns" and circulars
and funny post cards. But among
them, there are always a few let-ters,
letters maybe, which the per-son
to whom they are addressed are
very anxioud to get.
"We're sorry we can't deliver
these letters, but it is impossible",
states Movler. At one time, the
Records Burenu kept two girls
busy looking up department num-bers
of men for the •fail Dept., but
that has been abandoned, as only
a small percentage of men were
ever locnted. They'd either find no
man of that name on the payroll,
or there would be several, and no
way of • telling which one had a
mother in Oshkosh, or a sweetheart
in Kalamazoo, writing him. If he
was located, cliances were three to
one, he would never call for the.
letter when notified.
Men and women working at
Goodyear are more certain of re-ceiving
their mail, advises Moyler,
if they instruct their friends to

new instructions · hAve been ivsued.

Of Yeat At Male Chorus Concer•
*'Swing Along," a negro melody sons in the audience.
sung as the last number by the
Male Chorus at their concert
Thursday evening in Goodyear
IIall, set the entire audience to
"shimmying." The way the chorus
sang the song gave an irresistible
swing to the melody.
Probably the number which won
the next greatest favor with the
audience was the Kippling ballad,
"Danny Deever," which has been
set to music by Walter Damrosch.
Fred Merig, a Flying Squadron
man, sang the number, supported
by the. entire chorus. Mr. Merig
still suiTers a slight hoarseness of
tone, due to having been gassed
overseas, but gave an effective
rendition of the ballad.
Harry Chalmers, harpimt, was a
favorite with the audlence. He
played severnl numbers that were
called for by persons by the au-dience.
He played several num-brrbi
tllat were called for by per-
Bliss Marj
Rowe Davis, and Harold Sauer
soloists, were very well received
as. was also the violin solos 01•
Randolph Wood.
The entire concert of the Mal,
Chorus was above par. Thei-choral
work places them on aI
equal footing with any musical or
ganization of the city. The bi,
regret was that not more peopl
